Set on L.A.'s famous Sunset Strip in 1987, Rock of Ages, Youth Edition tells the story of Drew, a city boy from South Detroit, and Sherrie, a small-town girl, who have both traveled to L.A. to chase their dreams of making it big. This classic story is set against the troubles at the Dupree Room, a “legendary temple of rock 'n' roll excellence” under threat of being torn down by developers and replaced with a strip mall. The threats of closure bring legendary rocker Stacee Jaxx to town, and an opportunity for Drew to chase his dream to rock out with the best. Trouble brews for Drew, Sherrie, and their friends as they dream of stardom and the Dupree Room is slated to be surrendered to developers. Rock of Ages: Youth Edition has all the 80s rock anthems we know and love, with a fun-filled coming of age story. Don't Stop Believin'!

NOTE to PARENTS: Youth Editions of musicals are abridged and content-appropriate adaptations of full-length shows tailored specifically for performance by young actors. They feature altered musical keys for developing voices and  have removed mature or complex content. Parents: Please research before watching other ROA editions or the ROA movie, as they will vary in content and subject matter from the Youth Edition we are performing.
